2·9 hours agoIranians are not a monolithic bloc. Bizarre eh?
Are they being used?
2·11 hours agoCan we fucking decarbonize already?
Especially after the US torpedoed the Iris Dena? Fun times.
Your claim is not uncontroversially factual. I am not going to argue history with you, only say this: if that’s the case, any party wanting to initiate war, should get a Security Council resolution under Article 42. Without that, sit the fuck down.
So what? We should still stand for international law.
We should care because we should stand for international law.
Iran sucks. Still shouldn’t be illegally attacked in violation of the UN Charter.
You don’t have to care about the victim of an illegal war of aggression. You just have to be against illegal wars of aggression.

23·2 days agoTimothy Snyder has talked about how anti-Semitism is going to be the weapon of choice for one faction of Trump’s court as they position themselves for the post trump transition. JD Vance will pin all of Trump’s crazy shit on Miller and then try to pin Miller on Rubio. Don’t be surprised if “Israel is responsible for our imperial decline” becomes the post-MAGA “stab in the back theory” of the 2030s… That’s why these fuckers LOATHE progressive anti-Zionist Jews like JVP.
Oil is last century’s energy source. China has shown the solar path forward. It’s just that the US petro/auto-oligarchy cannot fathom any kind of transition.
Trump is not directly controlled by anyone. There’s nobody behind the curtain. He’s a narcissist being manipulated by Netanyahu (and Putin, and Orban and any other autocrat he looks up to), and who has surrounded himself with a court of amoral grifters with conflicting agendas. He does shit like this not because he has a plan but because it gives him a high, it makes him feel powerful and them he gets bored again.
What’s embarrassing is simping for Trump’s and Bibi’s illegal wars.
Hezbollah attacked the sovereign UK base, not the Republic of Cyprus.

A man can hope for one more X.
May your remaining bombs be duds and then you run out.
There are two frigates, Kimon (Kimon class) and likely Psara (Hydra class).

Oh no, a country that takes a moral stand on one thing is not a completely moral country on every other respect?! How dare they!
